"I know that I would not be the teacher I am today without you all. I felt prepared and ready to start teaching in the beginning because of your support and help. The skills that I learned from you all have been applied directly to my class and I am so thankful for you."
Katy Johnson - Multiple Subject Teaching Credential '20
"My favorite Saint Mary's memory is meeting all of the wonderful professionals who I now call friends. As well as the support I have received from my professors. It will never be forgotten."
Maria Anais Elera - Master in Education in Special Education '21
"When I see that someone has received a Saint Mary's education, they always separate themselves from others. I know what's going on inside their head and what they've done to get to where they are. That Saint Mary's degree or credential really does hold a lot of weight out in the educational community."
